Billionaires are not paying their fair share! Everyone who makes over $400k will now pay 45% total tax to fix this (never mind that you could have written the law to specifically target people with assets > $1B. Who has time for that?)

- rmk 5y agoThe pols who shout from the rooftops that 'billionaires should not exist' and stuff like that are being disingenuous at best, liars at worst. All that is rhetoric, pure and simple. It's trivial for billionaires to defer income, as it is drawn from capital investments, which can easily take flight to more favorable climes. Not to mention the considerable legal muscle and access to the corridors of power. The only people who suffer from the mass hysteria are the working stiffs who happen upon a couple windfalls in their lives, i.e., your typical tech workers.
